Ya - right before Bellevue Trestle, and in my unit. So the engineer showed up to check on it right as I was filming going across the trestle. Oh well....
Thanks for the video KB! Brought back memories of a trip to AC in the mid 80's, it was 2 weeks after the canadian parliament banned smoking on public transportation. I don't know who was more angry, the workers or passengers! They threatened several people they caught smoking with getting booted off the train in the middle of no where or at a lake stop. Of course the anti-smoking karens were on the lookout to bust people taking a puff. They eventually opened up the loading doors between the cars to allow some picture taking and smoking to happen.
Rainy or not that was a great ride with the Fall Foliage. @1:15. Alarm bells ringing and I actually do like their SD60s. Good radio chatter. I think it was the early nineties that a friend of mine got the urge to go up to the AC to ride up to Hearst and luckily I had a 4-day weekend. I rode most of the way in the doorway boy my legs get bruised. They could certainly use some foliage cut back and I remember the freight traffic was pretty thin but the long deadlines of stored gons and bulkhead Flats we're everywhere. Nice to meet with the Canyon train where there was a bit of rail customers. Even with above normal Temps any small waterfall on the north side of the rocks there was still ice and the farther north you got the smaller the trees as well as the increased size of the bogs. A great ride thanks for the trip 15:56
Appreciate you taking the time to comment. It was a nice ride despite the rain. I also have footage of the return the next day. Hopefully you subscribed so if I post that, you'll know.
Back in the day, and I took a ride on the Algoma Central, from Sault Ste Marie, Ontario to,Agawa Canyon. I remember seeing Algoma Central Engines, and the Passenger Cars were from VIA RAIL. Which is Canada's Passenger Train System. I,took the trip in 1995.
The Canyon train runs from the Soo up to Agawa Canyon, MP 114. Then nothing until you get up to Oba - CN still operated Oba to Hearst. And Watco provides freight service around the Soo.
Alarm bell at 1:11
Oh no!!!

Yep, those Canadians and especially the French liked their smokes.

Ya, the alarm bells in my unit went off right as we were starting over Bellevue trestle, much to my consternation
Nice Video - Back in 1987 rode the passenger train all the way to Hearst and back in the summer. Was a nice trip. Thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for commenting.
Great video... Haven't seen much footage in such high quality from that region, especially from the view of the cab!

@@killerbee6310 Will keep my eyes open for the video release!
Was this the line that long ago had a caboose or two or three they’d set out for “camping”, or am I thinking elsewhere?
Great video by the way!
You remember correctly. Glad you liked it - thank you for taking the time to comment.

True, back in the day it seemed the ACR had a mish-mash of passenger cars from all over.
Any Sault Ste Marie stuff from the 1990's?
Not posted on RUclips. But I do have elsewhere on my RUclips channel Soo, ON movies from the 30s and 40s - mostly ACR.
Is that line still in service?
